Chapter 737: Chapter 556: Unpredictable Human Nature

Wang Yang now has no proof, but perhaps he’ll be able to learn the truth from Su Ding later, or he could descend to the Underworld to meet Wu Mo and ask him directly. Surely then, he could find out who harmed him.

"Wang Yang? With the national surname, could you be a descendant of the Royal Family?"

The True Person of Qingcheng Mountain was somewhat surprised because the current world was united under the rule of the Wang Clan, a clear presence of a Hidden Dragon.

Moreover, it so happened that Wang Yang had the same surname—it was such a coincidence that it made him start to suspect.

"I’m not of the Royal Family, just a commoner."

Wang Yang didn’t care about any Royal lineage; Wu Mo had mentioned it in passing, but it didn’t pique his interest—what use was the identity of a royal descendant to him?

And Wang Yang understood that his body was undoubtedly abandoned, a castoff. Since that was the case, any reappearance would surely make him a target, a thorn in someone’s side.

Wang Yang didn’t want these complications. He felt that the identity of a royal heir wouldn’t bring him much benefit and considered that announcing it now might not be to his advantage. Better to wait for the right moment in the future.

At this time, the expression on Wang Yang’s face was fully captured by the True Person of Qingcheng Mountain, who realized he had been rash to ask such a sensitive question.

After all, Wang Yang was in such a destitute place because of certain unavoidable circumstances.

The True Person of Qingcheng Mountain also had no desire to get entangled in the conflicts of the Human Path, even though he was now somewhat certain that Wang Yang might indeed be the Hidden Dragon.

When the Hidden Dragon soars, that would be the day of the great battle.

The True Person of Qingcheng Mountain also felt fortunate to have taken Wang Yang under his wing.

Wang Yang possessed the talents of a Hidden Dragon, and the probability that he had Imperial Bloodline was quite high. In the end, when it came to the struggle for succession among the Nine Dragons, he would undoubtedly have a place.

To participate in the battle of the Nine Dragons, if Wang Yang were to win, then the Qingcheng Mountain Sect would rise to greatness; if he failed, it would be a plunge into the abyss.

Although Wang Yang had yet to show the signs of towering talent, the True Person of Qingcheng Mountain could already foresee future conflicts over Fate, which he could not afford to ignore.

"Do you have any family members?"

The True Person of Qingcheng Mountain inquired.

"I had an uncle at home who, a few days ago, went up the mountain to kill a great python and was bitten. He has now passed away."

Wang Yang said calmly, while the True Person of Qingcheng Mountain indeed saw another facet to him. Such equanimity in front of him seemed very remarkable.

Moreover, the True Person of Qingcheng Mountain still felt that this kind of temperament, if compared with any top disciple of the Qingcheng Mountain Sect, would be hard to match.

Even the boy with him wouldn’t do.

Although the boy had unparalleled talent, that was merely as an individual.

But this child didn’t seem like a typical child of his age.

Meanwhile, other major sects were preparing for the struggle over celestial Mountain.

Celestial Mountain was recognized as the ancestral Lands of the Gods, and every fifty years, the younger generation would hold contests there. The struggle over celestial Mountain determined the rank of the martial arts sects.

In the eyes of Exorcists, even those who were fifty were still considered young, but now, with less than ten years until the competition, if the Qingcheng Mountain Sect wanted to shine...

In ten years, his disciple wouldn’t possibly be able to compete against those Exorcists who had practiced for decades. Only Wang Yang could do that.

Being of Imperial Bloodline, blessed with the Fate of the Human Path, he could oppress talent with sheer Fate, rendering those geniuses incapable of displaying their strengths. Suddenly, he made up his mind.

"So be it, now that you have no more ties after joining the Qingcheng Mountain Sect, this Demon-Suppressing Bell, I’ll hand over to you."

The True Person of Qingcheng Mountain took out a small bell from his breast pocket and handed it to Wang Yang.

Surprise flickered in Wang Yang’s eyes; this gift genuinely flattered him. If only he had the Exquisite Heart to know what the True Person of Qingcheng Mountain was thinking.

"Master, isn’t that your favorite Magic Artifact?"

The boy originally felt some sympathy for Wang Yang, but seeing his master gifting the Magic Artifact so suddenly turned her sympathy into jealousy.

The boy pouted, seemingly discontent with the action of the True Person of Qingcheng Mountain, knowing that for many years she herself hadn’t received a Magic Artifact from her master.

"Alright, go back for now, and join me tomorrow on our return to the Qingcheng Mountain Sect."

The True Person of Qingcheng Mountain called the boy back and told Wang Yang to leave first.

Wang Yang, not oblivious to the nuances of the situation, thanked the True Person of Qingcheng Mountain and left.

"Master, that was your favorite Magic Artifact just now. Why did you give it to Wang Yang as soon as you saw him?"

The tone of the boy was slightly sour, because the world was full of people more miserable than Wang Yang, and the True Person of Qingcheng Mountain wasn’t a philanthropist. To give away such an item upon their first meeting, how could she not feel jealous?

"Do not be envious. Giving him the Demon-Suppressing Bell serves to protect his path. As my direct disciple, you should know that aside from those with extraordinary talents, there’s another type of person to be aware of: those with peculiar Destinies of Luck."

The True Person of Qingcheng Mountain explained as he understood that after all, she was just a child, and it was normal for her to harbor some emotions.

Could it be that this Wang Yang is one with a peculiar destiny?

The boy was somewhat surprised. The Theory of Luck was a topic she often heard the True Person of Qingcheng Mountain mention; it was almost a compulsory subject for every Exorcist.

"Not only that, his Fate is prosperous, and his talents are frighteningly high. His physique is unprecedented, and the unrefined spiritual energy of nature within him could rival a True One. With refinement, he could become a True One on the spot."
